Feeling the winter blues? Then join Fleet Captain Harold Seigel this Saturday, Feb. 23rd noon at

CIM to plan the summer cruise and other water-

based activities, all are welcome to participate.

IPC/Hays is coordinating the club’s participation

in the March 2nd Ballyshaners St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Old Town Alexandria. Come on out,

help decorate Jack Stoddard’s 37’ Scarab, ride in the parade, or hand out beads to the spectators.

It’s an awesome experience if you’ve never been

in a parade before.

Thanks for the terrific attendance at the monthly

meetings, be sure to block the third Wednesday of each month off for our meetings. Thanks to

everyone for getting your dues paid, we are way

ahead of previous years thanks to Mike’s efforts. And to the few members with outstanding dues,

please let me know your intentions for

renewal.

Cheers,

Volume 56 Issue 2 Page 3

On behalf of National Potomac Yacht Club, THANK YOU to Scott and Jana Akers for open-

ing their house and hosting an outstanding Super

Bowl party on Feb. 3rd. Over 50 Club members attended which was an excellent start to the

2019 NPYC social season.

Our next Club event is on Saturday, March 2nd for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Old Town

Alexandria. IPC David Hays is leading this event and the current plan is to once again utilize Jack

Stoddard’s go-fast boat on a trailer as our float.

Additional details on the NPYC website and Facebook

page.

Speaking of 2019, the Events Planning Com-

mittee convened on Sunday, Feb. 10, to plan this year’s land-based social calendar. This year’s

NPYC-sponsored on-land events are as follows:

February 23rd (Sat.) - Cruise Planning Meeting

(Columbia Island Marina—12:00 noon March 2rd (Sat.) – St. Patrick’s Day Parade

(Old Town Alexandria) March 30th (Sat.) – Chili Cook-off (Columbia

Island Marina) April 13th (Sat.) – Potomac River Watershed

Clean-up (Columbia Island Marina)

May 5th (Sun.) – Flag-raising Ceremony and general membership meeting preceded by

annual Pass-and-Review and Blessing of the Fleet (Columbia Island Marina)

In addition, our monthly NPYC Movie Nights at Columbia Island Marina will

held on the second Wednesday of each

month through Sept. 11th.

We also encourage individual Columbia Island

Docks to start giving some thought to hosting monthly Dock Parties on Friday or Saturday eve-

nings during the boating season.

Look for these and other NPYC marine-based

events (e.g. Raft-ups, Summer Cruise, Float-ins, etc.)

on the calendar page of the Club website at

www.NPYC.com. A cruise planning meeting will be held at 12:00 noon on Saturday, Feb. 23rd at CIM

to plan these on-water events. We will also have a listing of other area events along the Upper Poto-

mac that may be of interest (i.e. events at

Georgetown Waterfront, DC Wharf, The Yards, Old Town Alexandria, National Harbor, Tim’s Riv-

ershore, etc.).

I’m looking forward to seeing you all at our events

this year.

Fleet Captain’s Report by PC Harold Seigel Page 5

Volume 56 Issue 2 Page 5

As this slow cold boring winter drags on, all of us avid boaters anxiously wait, as an addict, to warm summer

nights, the smell of fiberglass, salt water, the rumble of

the engines as you turn the key, the laughter from friends

on the docks, a cold brew, dreaming about great adven-

tures to come............Woops! Lost my train of thought. Oh yeah, might be a good time to catch up on reading a

few chapters of Chapmans (you better know what that is, and own a copy), and poke your head down to your boat

to check on things. Speaking of adventures, the Cruise

Planning meeting will be Saturday February 23, 1200 hrs. (Noon) at the marina. Give some thought to not only the

longer cruise, but also where you might want the fleet to travel locally together. Be safe.

"The planning stage of a cruise is often just as enjoyable as the voyage itself, letting one’s imagination loose on all

kinds of possibilities. Yet translating dreams into reality means a lot of practical questions have to be answered."

- Jimmy Cornell (World Cruising Handbook)

NPYC January 16, 2019 General Member-ship Meeting

Commodore Cathy McKinnell called the meeting to order at 7:41pm with 59 Members in

attendance.

Vice Commodore Ryan Israel lead everyone in the pledge of allegiance.

Immediate Past Commodore David Hays welcomed Cathy as our new Commodore.

Commodore Cathy McKinnell introduced

our guests.

Steve McConey attend the meeting tonight for

the first time. He is interested in joining the club. He has a 24’ Maxim Bowrider at Bolling. He has

been in the area for 20 years and has been boat-

ing for 10 years. He can trailer his boat to do

water sports. He has twin 11 year old girls.

Rudy Crespin is Stacy Dawn’s new first mate. He

graduated in 1987 from the Naval Academy and drove big ships up to 473’ in length. He also did

computer stuff. He enjoyed teaching sailing les-sons at Belle Haven. He likes sail boats better

than powerboats…with a good engine of course!

He was on the sailing team at the Naval Acade-my.

Cathy reported that the COW was a very nice

event. We had a great turn out and almost eve-

ryone in the meeting had attended the COW.

Please mark your calendar for the second Satur-

day in January next year!

Per the bylaws the Commodore established the following 3 committees that you will hear from in

the coming weeks:

• Entertainment and Activities Commit-

tee

• Membership Committee

• Finance Committee

Cathy gave a special thanks to Norm Wood for his work on the Skipper.

Skipper Editor PC Norm Wood reported that there are glitches in the

website that we are working to fix. He encouraged everyone to read the Skipper. It contains a lot of

important information as well as birthdays and anni-versaries along with photos so it’s a great way to

put names and faces of members together.

Commodore Cathy McKinnell gave a shout out

to everyone that celebrated their birthday last month. We celebrated some of them at the COW

with impromptu singing. She further reported that

we are looking into association with the Yacht Clubs of America and we will decide if it’s worth-

while to invest in that membership at a later date. We will have more speakers at meetings in the fu-

ture. If you have connections let us know. We are looking for a formal speaker for our flag raising

meeting. Tonia Dollinger is the new PRYCA repre-

sentative. PRYCA consists of 23 yacht clubs along the Potomac river. Harold Seigel will stay on as the

CBYCA representative for the Chesapeake Bay Yacht Clubs Association. Thank you to everyone

who has paid their dues. If you haven’t already done

so you can pay then tonight. You can track down

Mike Foster or Scott Akers to do this. Marvin and

Andrea Storey and Allan and Marla Farber have ac-crued 20 years in NPYC and the board approved

their new membership status as life members.

Vice Commodore Ryan Israel reported that he

is putting together the entertainment and activities

committee and we will come up with social calen-

dar. There are some upcoming events to mark on your calendars:

• Sunday, February 3 there will be a Super

Bowl party at Scott & Jana Akers house which is

in the Alexandria area at 5pm. It’s BYOB and please bring a side dish to share to Scott and

Jana’s place. An invitation will be sent to every-one.

• Saturday, March 2 is the St. Patty’s Day pa-

rade. Dave Hays will continue to organize this in

Old Town Alexandria.

He plans to get a boat on a trailer with Jack Stoddard’s help. Thanks Jack!!! The reason

we are in the parade is because in 2012 some

club members saw the parade and the next

year we entered an antique fire truck thanks

to Bob Hotaling. Now we are using Jack’s boat and we usually have someone acting like

they are water-skiing behind the boat.

• Saturday, July 27 is the golf tournament at

Swan Point. Kelly Rodgers is helping out with the tournament this year.

• Saturday, July 21 is the PRYCA Float-in.

Keep an eye out of more details soon.

Rear Commodore Ryan Rodgers lead the

pledge of allegiance. He reported that he is re-sponsible for membership and he thanked every-

one for being here. He asked everyone to be good ambassadors of the club. We have a num-

ber of prospective members here this evening.

Tina Gantz was not here, but she is interested in the club. She was one of the ladies in red at the

COW. Next month Steve McConey is eligible to be voted into the club. Vicki Kinnamon- Kempf

reintroduced herself to the club. She grew up boating on Tilghman Island where her dad was a

waterman. She enjoys the boating and motorcy-

cling seasons. She doesn’t currently own a boat, but at some point she hopes to. She mentioned

that this group is a great bunch of people and she appreciates the water which is why she wants to

join the club. She was introduced at a previous

meeting so she was voted into the club this even-

ing. Welcome Vicki! Treasurer Scott Akers reported that we closed out 2018 with over $20K in the bank

thanks to a lot of people paying their dues along

with the COW early. At the beginning of January with dues coming in and more COW money we

had over $31K in the bank account. The COW was successful with 103 people registered to at-

tend and we saved money this year. Last year we spent $22K and this year we only spent $18,287.

With all that has been paid out we now have a

balance of approximately $12,600.

All in all we are better off than last year.

Fleet Captain Harold Siegel an-

nounced that the PRYCA is having their float-in the week before our golf tour-

ney. He wants to get a sense of where we want to cruise this year (e.g., 3 Sisters, National Harbor, Old

Town, July 4th, etc.) Please talk to Harold about what you all would like to do. For the long cruise we

have to decide if we are going to the bay and then

south to Norfolk, or north to Annapolis. He will set up a meeting next month to concentrate on what we

want to do for the cruise. He noted that when he first started in the club 20 years ago there were only

30 members and dues were $50.

Secretary Tonia Dollinger kindly asked everyone

to sign in on the sheet that is being passed around.

Old Business: None

New business:

• Check on your boat and make sure it is OK

and that there is no ice and snow on it. Please check on your neighbor’s boat too.

• Bob McKinnell is starting to plan a group to

go tandem skydiving. See him if you are interest-

ed.

• Vice Commodore Ryan Israel is looking to line up food for each of our meetings. If you have

connections to get good prices or if there is

something specific you like, please let Ryan know.

• PRYCA COW is January 26th. Sign up soon. Marv and Andi Storey are very active in the

PRYCA and will make an NPYC table. NPYC al-ways sends the Commodore and her “mister”.

It’s only $85 and it’s not open bar.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:18pm.

Respectfully Submitted,

Tonia L. M. Dollinger Secretary

The current bank balance is $12,587.00. Outstanding mem-bership dues that still need to be paid and are being re-

ceived will change this amount. Invoice notices have been

sent out. If you have already paid your dues, please let us

know and we can update the system. Our apologies if this

has happened. We are experiencing some hiccups while we are converting over the new automated billing and collecting

process. NPYC will still take checks mailed to the treasurer or if you prefer in person, we can swipe your credit card.

Thanks, Scott Akers

PRYCA Delegate’s Comments by Tonia Dollinger Page 9

Volume 56 Issue 2 Page 9

I had the privilege of attending my first PRYCA (Potomac River Yacht Clubs Association) meet-

ing as the NPYC delegate. I picked up the torch

this year after Ryan Israel served last year as our club rep. Thanks for your service Ryan!!!

NPYC is part of PRYCA which contains 23 yacht

clubs along the Potomac River. I encourage eve-ryone to participate in PRYCA events. It’s a great

opportunity to interact with a larger community

of boating enthusiast from other local yacht clubs.

Some PRYCA events to look forward to this

year are the Cobb Island Summer Kick Off June

7-9, the PRYCA Float-in at Coles Point July 19-21, Dog Days of August 2-4 (location tbd), and of

course the PRYCA COW on January 25, 2020. Registration details for the float-in are shown on

the following page in this Skipper. Let’s try and

register early this year. If we have multiple en-

tries by the Commodore’s Dinner on April 1 we

will be awarded a key point which is vital to win-ning the PRYC Float-In Competition Cup. In

years past NPYC won the Cup numerous years but you “gotta play to win” and we haven’t had

good attendance at the Float-in until last year. So mark your calendar for the July 19-21 weekend

just prior to our Golf Tournament.

Special thanks to Marv and Andi Storey for coor-

dinating our NPYC table at the PRYCA COW. The annual formal event was held on January 26

at the Holiday Inn in Old Town Alexandria to

induct PRYCA’s new bridge and board. A profes-

sional photographer captured photos of at-

tendees with a PRYCA flag as the backdrop. Sou-venir champagne glasses were given to attendees.

The event included a nice dinner, live band, danc-ing and pre-party/after party in a hospitality suite.

Thanks to the members from various clubs that

volunteered to make this happen. Everyone had an amazing time meeting and mingling with other

local yacht club members. Hope you can all join us next year so we can have a strong presence at

this wonderful event!!! Mark your calendars for

this event next year on January 25th, 2020.

Other noteworthy topics that were dis-cussed at the February PRYCA meeting

include:

• Coal ash ponds on Quantico Creek up-

date: Dominion Power will be required to drain

the ponds. Coal ash will be removed by train. It may take 3 years to complete. Check your

newspapers for the latest information.

• PRYCA is collecting information regarding

cell phone connectivity on the Potomac River. If you have any information on major cell phone

carriers (i.e. Verizon, T-Mobil, AT&T, Sprint, etc.) regarding navigation/weather aids, hot

spots, etc. please let me know.

• A fast ferry service on the Occoquan River

has been proposed. This concerned many mem-bers because the ferries create a large wake.

The ferry may be operational in 3-5 years.

Page 10: Commodore's Comments - NPYC Skipper.pdf · The Events Committee (Chair VC/Ryan Israel, Comm/Cathy McKinnell, IPC/ David Hays, Secretary/Tonia Dollinger, Linda Knoche, Dawn Sexton,

All,

We are excited to announce that the PYRCA 2019 Float-In will be held July 19-21 at Coles Point

Marina!!! Please note the following important information:

ONLINE EVENT REGISTRATION: This year, all event registrations will be done

online. Checks will still need to be mailed to complete the registration. The registration link will be sent in March.

CUP POINT FOR EARLY REGISTRATION: Clubs submitting at least two vessel registra-

tion packages with payments when they attend the Commodores' Dinner & Delegate Meeting in April will receive a point toward The Cup!

SNAG-A-SLIP / RECIPROCITY: Coles Point will NOT accept any Snag-a-Slip or reciprocity slip reservations during the event dates. This will enable PRYCA to maintain control of the

event registrations. COTTAGES: Cottages can be reserved through Coles Point Marina. Please mention the

PRYCA 2019 Float In and they will waive the cleaning fee. (Separate event registration re-

quired.) RV HOOKUPS: RV hookups can be reserved through Coles Point Marina. Please mention the

PRYCA 2019 Float In and they will give a $10 off per night hook up fee. (Separate event regis-tration required.)

We have already made a reservation for sunshine that weekend, so I don't think we'll have a repeat of the

monsoon we experienced last year! Please mark the dates on your calendar and spread the word

with everyone in your club!

We're looking forward to seeing you on the water!

We are saddened to report that long time mem-

ber and Past Commodore Brutus Wright passed

away on February 7th. We understand that he had

not been doing well for the last few years and was

living in Assisted Living at Brookdale in Wood-

bridge, VA just a couple of miles from his home.

In the late 70s or early 80s, Linda and Gene

Bussard and Brutus and Annabelle went on a

cruise down the Potomac and up to Annapolis and

Baltimore, MD. Every summer after that there has

been a Summer Cruise. Annabelle tells us that one

of the cruises wound up in a storm in the Chesa-

peake. They made it into Kinsale Marina and that

was the start of the "Salty Dog" awards.

Brutus will be buried in Arlington Cemetery. We

will keep you posted about his Memorial service.

Our deepest sympathies go out to Annabelle and

the rest of you who counted Brutus as a friend

and colleague.

Some archival photos of Bruce follow on the next

page.
